In 2015, Jamaican international pop star OMI created history in the USA with his smash hit “Cheerleader,” that won the coveted Billboard No. 1 song of the summer, ahead of stars like Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, Wiz Khalifa, Kendrick Lamar and Adele.
In the UK, Omi also made history when “Cheerleader” topped the pop charts for four consecutive weeks, the longest reign at number one in the UK by a Jamaican artist.
Fast forward to 2017 and OMI is still smashing records, as he is booked to blaze the stage at the seventh staging of Irie Fashion Rave (IFR) that takes place on April 22 & 23, 2017 at Roosevelt Field Mall in New York. OMI will become the first Jamaican/Caribbean artiste to perform at the upscale shopping mall in East Garden City, Long Island, New York – one of the largest mall networks in the USA and home to Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus.

Hubert Sumlin
Sidemen: Long Road To Glory is an award-winning documentary film about the lives, legacies and music of bluesmen Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith. The film is complete and has enjoyed a successful festival run since its world premiere at the 2016 SXSW Film Festival. Though we cleared the music and footage rights to allow us to screen at festivals, we now need to clear those rights to allow for a worldwide release. With your support this can happen and we will be able to make the film available to music and movie fans around the world. In the process you will help to tell the incredible stories of these three remarkable men, preserve an important part of history and maybe, just maybe, help to get Hubert Sumlin elected to the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame.
My hope is that the film we created is worthy of these incredible musicians, the band leaders they played with and the great legacies they left behind. I believe that we have and I thank you for being a part of it.
Pinetop, Willie and Hubert were some of our last direct links to the origins of Delta and Chicago blues. As sidemen to the great Muddy Waters and Holwin’ Wolf they were a part of some of the most recognizable and influential blues recordings of all time. The influence and cultural impact of these men and the legacies that they are a part of is incalculable.

International recording artiste Mr. Vegas is set to stir up a lot of interest with his new single titled All That & More.
The song which is the first official single off his soon to be released Gospel album, Soul Therapy, takes a look at the veteran dancehall star’s journey to Christianity.
All That & More begins with Vegas singing, “There was a time in my life I was so defeated without a fight. My spirit was broken, good Lord day and night. But when I started believing in you Lord you showed me the light. You say that I’m all that, all that, all that, all that and more. You say that I’m all that, all that, all that, all that and more.”
Digging deep into his vocal abilities Vegas delves even further into the experiences which lead to him embracing the Christian faith as he sings, “I spent all my dough in the bank but I feel rich with this joy that I have. I lost a few a friends that I had they gave up on me when things were so bad. But Lord if they only knew there’s no other friend like you. You lifted me up and start me a new it shows in the things that you do.”
Mr. Vegas said he’s confident that his fans will respond positively To All That & More.
All That & More was produced and released on the MV Music label. The rhythm of the song was created by Dutch musician Rowen Reecks.
Mr. Vegas’ first full-length Gospel project Soul Therapy will be released in February.
